Today I was trying to send mail from my Rails application through Action Mailer. This is quite simple, but I wanted to use a custom from-address. So, I create a setup_email method in my UserNotifier class that sets some defaults for every email sent out:
|
|
<pre lang="ruby">class UserNotifier < ActionMailer::Base
|
|
protected
|
|
def setup_email(user)
|
|
@recipients = "#{user.email}"
|
|
@from = "My Application <no-reply@example.com">
|
|
end
|
|
end</no-reply@example.com"></pre>
|
|
May you spotted the problem already, but I didn't. All the mail sent came from "MAILER DAEMON".
|
|
<pre>From: MAILER DAEMON</pre>
|
|
The problem was that @from didn't contain a properly formated from-address. It is missing the closing >, and so my email server ignores it.
|
|
|
|
If you have this issue, double check the from address, and make sure it's valid! Cheers. |
